I'm just about driving myself insane.  I really want to play SFIV.  As a Wii owner I have no chance in hell of ever playing it.  As a one console owner I knew there would be games that I'd miss out on and that's fine.  Between 2 jobs, wife and kids there's not enough time to play everything I want on one console, let alone 2.  But this is the first time I truly am regretting it.  



Street Fighter II was just legendary to me.  When I first became interested in the game I remember trying to play it in the arcade but the lines was too long.  So instead I settled for the original Street Fighter that had the punch pads.  But one of those pads was ripped off and I ended up cutting up my hand on some of the exposed metal.



Despite the injury I never lost interest and a few months later I bought a SNES and a copy of SFII along with it.  And it was amazing.  Worth all the hype that I had heard.  I remember the shock of seeing the 4 bosses the first time.  Each one infinitely harder than the next.  Vega was a complete blur.  How the hell were you supposed to hit him?  And for the love of god look at Sagat!!! He's huge!!!  And Bison with the Psycho Crusher?  Screw that I quit!  But I of course preservered and in time got half way decent.



And I played each of the next installments, Championship Edition, Hyper Fighting, Super SFII, etc.  The Alpha series would eventually go on to be my favorite, particularly Alpha II.  Loved the aesthetics of it, loved the cast, and it just felt perfectly balanced.



But now here I am without a system to play the new installment, which looks simply magnificent.  I'm sure in a couple weeks I'll be able to deal once Madworld and Rune Factory: Frontier come out, but right now it's hell.  I guess I'll take some comfort in knowing that I wouldn't be able to play as either Adon or Rolento and those were my fighters of choice in the Alpha games.



Crap... it doesn't work.  This sucks.

It's a plight I cannot relate to (I could not imagine not having all the consoles, but then I don;t have 2 jobs and kids).

It's a bummer you won;t be able to enjoy it on the Wii, I'd have to think the system is capable of it ( fighting stick would be required).

Capcom once said they'd consider putting a port of it onto the Wii.  It wouldn't look as good, but if the controls were good I'd be fine with it.  This would be a lot more tolerable if they could just get all the rights taken care of and release Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.//

My main job is a full-time gig and that pays all the bills.  Job #2 is more of a consulting job that only takes up maybe 5 hours a week.  Not a big deal or anything but that's where my "fun money" comes from.  Conventions, games, Disney World, stuff like that.

A PC version is due out on June 30th, so there's  quite a while till that day comes.  Not that it really matters though.  My PC is not a gaming one.  I highly doubt I'd be able to run it.

If there were more games on the 360 I wanted to play I'd consider it.  But the fact is, the only thing I really want is SF IV.  I can't really justify dropping even $200 for the the 360 Arcade just to play one game.
